Nothing Like Stolen Youth...Literally.

Are you seeing double? You will during The Gondoliers, as two different groups with two different storylines collide in one boisterous and joyous show.

Spanning both stories is the marvelously menacing Grand Inquisitor, Don Alhambra del Bolero, who stole the infant song of the King of Barataria and cast him off to Venice, but only after the young future monarch was secretly wed to a nobleman’s daughter. Now, the unwitting heir to the throne and his “brother” are gondoliers seeking mates when the impoverished nobleman brings his daughter to Venice in search of her infant groom. Since nobody can tell which gondolier is the true heir to the throne, Don Alhambra arranges for them to leave their newlywed brides and reign jointly until the proper monarch can be identified.

After much confusion, lots of exuberant dancing, and jolly Italianate musical ensembles, the stage is set for leaving all concerned, including the audience. With feelings of pleasure!

"With its Italian-tinged rhythms and social class satire, The Gondoliers proves to be a lively, sprightly show."
